Hello there,
Apache Tomcat v9.0.65
Java 11
OS Linux
We have a web app which is embedding tomcat. web-app's context path
/product is mapped to docBase /opt/product/codebase folder. The whole
web-app content is inside this /codebase folder. The customer of the
web-app can customize the web-app by adding their own content. However,
they are not allowed to modify/add inside /codebase folder, so their is
a separate folder for customers code i.e. /opt/product/custom. The
requirement is to make available /opt/product/custom folder's content
accessible from the same context i.e., /product. The custom folder has
classes, jsp, js, css and image files, etc. I am not sure how to make
tomcat access contents outside docBase folder.
I read nested components documentation
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/resources.html and tried
it however, it was not working for me.
For trying out I have created a html file: /opt/product/custom/test.html
Updated the content configuration:
<Context path="/Product" docBase="/opt/product/codebase"
reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">
<Loader
loaderClass="org.apache.catalina.loader.ParallelWebappClassLoader"
delegate="true"/>
<Resources>
<PostResources base="/opt/product/custom"
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
webAppMount="/"/>
</Resources>
</Context>
and tried to access URL: locahost:8080/Product/test.html which returned 404.
My question:
Is nested components the right way to achieve the requirement? If yes,
please help me understand what I am missing. If not, please point me the
right way.
Thanks a lot in advance!!.
Please let me know if you have any query
Thanks,
Umesh
